Cause of Failures.

Misfortune often overtakes men in bus
mess, not so much because men are neg
ligent and slow-going, but more particu-
larry from the fact that they fail to take
care of the public-the very source from
which they expect to derive their trade.
One hundred years ago, advertising was
scarcely thought Of as means of inviting
customers. Perhaps it was not so essen
tial, in fact not necessary. But what of
to-day? 1t is this, either make up your
mind to advertise when you launch out
in business, or else keep weather eye
on the sheriff This result will take
place It's sure ~ night follows day. Some
will argue that they never advertise, and
yet succeed. Of course they do, but
under what conditions. These very
men are not subjected to competition.
If they were you would soon see where
the fellow who did not advertise would
land. The problem is an easy one Sue
cess deserves praise in almost everything
Not only should every business man adj
vertise, but he or they should feel it
their duty to uphold and patronize their
town paper. Nothing unreasonable is
asked. Simply justice. Give your pa
per what help you can. Let each one
think over this subject, and come to the
conclusion to begin at once to help their

About half past ten o'clock on Sat-
urday night last there proceeded from
the neighhorhood of New London ave-
nue. jargon of sounds. 1t did not take
one long to understand what the discor-
dant music meant. A number of Pussy
Penberton's friends had gathered to
give him and his bride a good old-time
calithumpian serenade. The 'horse"
fiddle was played by numerous hands,
while the various tin horns were oper-
ated by skillful musicians. Everyone
seemed to enjoy the occasion; and no
one more 80 than Mr.. Pemberton. lie
had an idea what the boys had in store
for him. Every serenader did his level
best to make the loudest music" and
all succeeded admirably. After thi. part
of the programme had been carried out
the fatigued musicians were taken in
hand by Mr.. and Mrs. Pemberton, and
were made to feel that their labor had
not been in vain by being generously
treated to refreshments.

One in Four.

There was an item in our Elkton letter
last week which stated that there had
not been a statement Of the financial
condition of Cecil County Fair published
since 1882. There seems to be mis-
take. Mr.. George A. Blake, Treasurer OF
the Fair writes us:
ELKToN, MD, Oct. oath, 1887.
GENTLEMEN.-Your Elkton correspon-
dent is in error in stating that no state
ment of receipts &C., of the Cecil County
Fair has been published since 1882 Last
year full statement was published in
our county papers as you will see by ref
erence to Democrat, Wing, Neus, Appeal
after stockholders meeting.
This shows that there was a statement
made in 1886. Our correspondent was
mistaken one statement in four gears. Of
course there will be full statement pub
lished after the January meeting of the
stockholders.

The Election Tickets.

The Act to provide an unexception-
able move of ascertaining the sense of
the people upon the question of calling a
constitutional convention" says "at the
said election the citizens of the State
entitled to vote of Representatives may
have written or printed on their ballots
the words, For a Convention or
Against a Convention Such ballots
may be of dly size dad form, not exceed.
ing the size now prescribed by law"
This is plain enough and any sensible
man understood that any ticket would
do, whether written or printed. Is this
part of the new law carried out? No.
The Every Erening says The question
has been raised that tickets for the con
stitutional convention election must be
printed ON the paper provided for gener.
al election tickets, according to the pro-
visions Of The uniform ballot law. The
general impression has been that any
kind of paper wou'd do, but in order to
AciiONt an N'ubtS Alit HltilhS VI Npll-
ventiun have decided to have their tick
cts printed on uniform ballot paper, which
can be procured from the clerks Of the
peace"
This breaks the new law at the start,
because 'the friends of the convention
haye decided to have their tickets print
cd" to suit themselves. Such nonsense.
Just as though ticket printed or writ
ten, as prescribed by the law is not legal,
while one that is gotten up by few of
the heads of the movement, is Legal This
is typical of the doings of Delaware.
Printing offices outside of Wilmington
are ignored on election tickets, but the
rural press must work for the movement.
1t is quite probable that Sussex and Kent
had their tickets printed They must
be destroyed and take tickets that is not
prescribed by the law
